A mix between bridge commander and elite force would be so epic.
Makes me angry that we will never see a AA.5/AAA TNG themed game again.
I think if was good it could sell well.

I love NMS and all, but it lacks far too much to be the ultimate space game. It doesn't even have stars. No giants or supergiants, no erratic pulsars or dying dwarfs, not even a binary sunset to watch from the dunes of a desert wasteland: it's just the same skybox every system, and every planet runs to the same clock.
The ultimate space game would require NMS and ED to fusion dance.
How is it bare bones exactly? Has more features and mechanics than most, if not all space exploration games.
The lack of an orbital space colony mode in a SimCity (or Cities: Skylines) type game makes me genuinely upset
(think stanford torus or o'neill cylinder)

lol, no, NMS isn´t even a space game, the most time you are crafting tedious shit on random planets
and the "space" consists of a constellation of 2-5 planets, after that you fly to the next "space room"
ED is a great shout. Not sure what you mean by "social aspect" but it's one of the better straight up space sims out there, especially those available on console.
If you're going in, prepare to learn a bunch of stuff. They will have a patch later this month which introduces some more robust onboarding for new players. It's also very open-ended in a "make your own fun" kind of way. The "social aspect" for me has been joining a squadron (basically a guild in MMOs), who I chat with on Discord and in-game on a regular basis. It has given me some much-needed direction and is what's holding my interest in the game almost 2 years after release on PS4.
Should have been first post.
ED with all its issues really manages to capture the immensity and emptiness of space.
I really just want my star trek RPG goddamit. IS THAT SO MUCH TO ASK!?!?!? *storms out ugly crying*
do not tempt cloud imperium to do that (and delay star citizen for another 10 years)
The April patch for Elite is out and adds a ton of QOL improvements for new players. The learning curve is the biggest deterrent and it sounds like these should be helpful. ObsidianAnt put out a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OVr0nzaKVDs
It also seems heavily likely (a few things from the Frontier leak have recently been confirmed/corroborated) that next year we get space legs, likely including FPS combat, Thargoids (out of ships), and base building.
